WAYLAND, Mich. (WOOD) — Wayland Union Schools has joined the group of districts adjusting athletic schedules due to concerns about a recent outbreak of mosquito-borne Eastern Equine Encephalitis.
The virus has infected nine people in southwestern Michigan counties and killed three of them. As a result, county and state health officials advised organizations to reschedule outdoor events so they would be finished by dusk, when mosquitoes may be more active.
When a case of EEE was found in deer in Kent County, Wayland decided to move its events. All athletic games will now start at 5 p.m. unless the game was already scheduled for earlier.
